Itinerary

Most of your week will be spent creating/sewing, getting to know your creative self better. Oh yes, and finding time to relax! Extra-curricular activities are presented depending on time of year and weather. A musical evening with Ricky is standard. ItineraryThe first group event is a late afternoon gathering/orientation (meet and greet), usually with light snacks and wine at 3:30pm on arrival day, which is the day prior to the first full day of class. Meals are on your own. Check with your innkeeper for their breakfast offerings. Each day will begin with a Morning Talk presented by Ricky. Students will be able to find journaling time as well as plenty of sewing time. The classroom is available 24 hours a day during the retreat. Ricky is with the class from 8:30am until 4:30pm each day. Lunches are on your own and a list of local restaurants are available in the retreat center. Dinners are on your own and a list of local restaurants are available in the retreat center. Ricky will be assisting individuals one-on-one and he also be providing demonstrations as needed by the group. These are not scheduled demos. He will alert everyone to the times these will take place. Other than that, you are free to sew, schedule a massage, shop, rest, etc. Your days will be full and unexpected events happen at each retreat. Please schedule your travel plans so that you can attend the entire retreat. A retreat participant leaving early disrupts the spirit of unity that is fostered throughout the week. |

FAQ

Where is La Veta? Click the map above for a larger view.
The Denver International Airport is another option. It is a large international airport and negotiating DIA takes a bit more time. The rental car center is away from the airport requiring a shuttle. Also, the drive from Denver to La Veta will take approximately 3 hours depending on traffic. Should I drive? Are sewing machines provided? We have five BERNINA 350 machines for rent on a first come, first served basis. These machines may be rented for $200 for the five days. If you are flying, you can ship your machine to us in advance. Alternatively, consider seeing if your machine will fit in a roll-a-board carry-on. Alleviate weight by packing all the accessories in your checked baggage to help eliminate weight. If you are driving, bring your machine with you. What will the weather be like? What is there to do for my accompanying guest? What are my lodging options?
Will my cell phone work? What is the elevation of La Veta? How do I cope with the elevation? What about dry skin? What area attractions should I visit? Our local bakery is two doors down, and a must. However, it is not open daily, Check out Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays 7a-2p. Charlie’s Market will provide you with most anything you might need in the way of grocery items, allergy pills, ice cream and all sorts of other goodies. Local teenagers man the soda bar during our tourist season. During off-season, you may have to wait until someone can get free to scoop it up. Will shops be open? What are the Covid-19 Restrictions for the Retreat Center? With the ever changing restrictions, this will be determined 2 weeks prior to your arrival so you can prepare. You will be notified of the restrictions then. Ricky is vaccinated fully as of March 11, 2021. |
